DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Ozena such as sinusitis and a middle ear inflammation is generally caused by bacteria which invade from exterior environment and is not effectively cured because the lesions of the diseases are surrounded by bones. Therefore, it is difficult to treat the disease by a systemic therapeutic approach. So, in order to effectively cure the above-described disease, a medicine which has a continuous and long time therapeutic effect is required. In addition, when curing such disease, since the portion of the disease should be opened, it is impossible to adopt a transplantate. Therefore, in order to maintain an open state and to continuously release the medicine, encapsulation method of an antibiotic into a microspheres was conjectured.
In the present invention, in order to insert a water-soluble therapeutic agent into a biodegradable polymeric ester microspheres, in particular into a polylactic acid, a W/O/W type emulsion method is used, and a solvent extraction method is used in order to increase an encapsulation efficiency of the therapeutic agent used.
Namely, unlike the conventional method wherein a non-solvent is added after the fabrication of the W/O/W type emulsion, in order to remove the solvent of the polymer, an improvement of the present method in view of the prior art lies in that the non-solvent is mixed with the outer aqueous phase in advance to fabricating the W/O/W type emulsion. Thus, according to the present invention, the solidification of the polymer is implemented within a short time, so thus increasing the encapsulation efficiency of the agent.
In the present invention, the non-solvents of the polymer can be mentioned acetaldehyde, acetonitrile, acetone, acrolein, allyl alcohol, aniline, benzylalcohol, butylalcohol, carbon disulfide, cyclohexanol, dichlorobenzene, diethyleneglycol, diethylsulfone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylform amide, dimethylsufoxide, 1,4-dioxane, dipropylsulfone, ethylacetamide, ethylalcohol, ethylamide, ethyl acetate, ethylenediamine, ethyleneoxide, ethylformamide, formic acid, furfurylalcohol, heptylalcohol, hexandiol, hexylalcohol, iodobenzene, methanol, methylamine, methylbenzoate, methyleneglycolate, methylethylsulfone, methylformate, methylpropylsulfone, octylalcohol, 1,5-pentandiol, phenylhydrazine, propylalcohol, isopropylalcohol, propyleneglycol, pyridine, styreneoxidil, and etc. Among them, ethylacetate is preferably used, for thus fabricating a desired super microspheres. The concentration thereof is 0.5-10 wt. % with respect to the outer aqueous phase.
In the present invention, the concentration of polylacticacid is preferably 1-15 wt. %.
In the present invention, a surface active agent which is added into the organic solvent can be fatty acids, olefins, alkyl carbons, silicones, sulfate esters, fatty alcohol sulfates, sulfated fats and oils, sulfonic acid salts, aliphatic sulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, lignin sulfonates, phosphoric acid esters, polyoxyethylenes, polyglycerols, polyols, imidazolines, alkanol amines, hetamines, sultomethamines, phosphatides, and Span 20, Span 40, Span 60and Span 80, etc. Among them, Span is preferably used, and the content thereof is 1-10%. In the present invention, as an organic solvent of polymer, methylene chloride is preferred, and the ratio between the inner aqueous phase and organic phase is 1:1-1:20.
In the present invention, as a surface active agent of the outer aqueous phase, 0.1-5 wt./part of polyvinyl alcohol is added to 100 wt. part of water, and the volume ratio of the outer aqueous phase to the organic phase is preferably 200:1.
The therapeutic agents which can be used in the present invention are betalactam antibiotics such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, and their salts and inhibitors of betalactamase such as sulbactam and clavulanic acid. It is possible to reduce the resistance of microorganisms to the antibiotics by effectively combining the above two kinds of agents.
In addition, in the present invention, when fabricating a W/O/W type emulsion, a stirrer, homogenizer, ultrasonic apparatus, etc. may be used.
Next, an example of the present invention will now be explained. However, the following example is not limited to the disclosed description.

Then, 2 wt./part of ethyl acetate is dissolved in 98 wt. part of an aqueous solution which is formed by dissolving 0.5 wt. part of polyvinyl alcohol in 100 wt. part of distilled water, for thus forming an outer aqueous phase. The inner aqueous phase and the organic phase were mixed in the volume ratio of 1:12.5 by using a vortex to give a W/O type emulsion, and then the resultant mixture was well dispersed by using a ultrasonic apparatus. Thereafter, the outer aqueous phase is uniformly agitated by using a homogenizer at 1000-8000rpm, and the aforementioned W/O type emulsion was slowly added into the outer aqueous phase in the volume ratio of 1:200 to obtain a W/O/W type emulsion. The multiple emulsion was agitated for about 30 minutes to remove the organic solvent of the polymer and filtered, and then was dried in a vacuum oven for one day, for thus fabricating biodegradable polymeric microspheres.
Example II
As an inner aqueous phase, sulbactam sodium was dissolved in distilled water as saturation concentration and as an organic phase, 10 wt. part of polylactic acid and 5 wt. part of Span 80 were dissolved in 100 wt. part of methylene chloride. Then, 2 wt./part of ethyl acetate is dissolved in 98 wt. part of an aqueous solution which is formed by dissolving 0.5 wt. part of polyvinyl alcohol in 100 wt. part of distilled water, for thus forming an outer aqueous phase. The inner aqueous phase and the organic phase were mixed in the volume ratio of 1:16.7 by using a vortex to give a W/O type emulsion, and then the resultant mixture was well dispersed by using a ultrasonic apparatus. Thereafter, the outer aqueous phase is uniformly agitated by using a homogenizer at 1000-8000 rpm, and the aforementioned W/O type emulsion was slowly added into the outer aqueous phase in the volume ratio of 1:200 to obtain a W/O/W type emulsion. The multiple emulsion was agitated for about 30 minutes to remove the organic solvent of the polymer and filtered, and then was dried in a vacuum oven for one day, for thus fabricating biodegradable polymeric microspheres.
